These are the best (or worst) teams in keeping the lead or coming back in the second half.When I write two capital letters, the first is the result at half-time, and the second is the result at the end of the match. For example, LD means that the team was losing at half-time, but eventually managed to equalize the match. Of course, W=win, D=draw, L=loss.I consider only:- the club teams of England, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain;- among these, only the teams who had W1 (wining at half-time) or L1 (trailing at half-time) at least in one third of the matches played.The best team in keeping the lead is Benfica (Portugal), with 13 WW out of 13 W1 matches (full marks). They played 22 matches.The worst team in keeping the lead is Moreirense (Portugal), with 4WL and 1 WD out of 9 W1 matches; in the second halves of these games, they lost 1,55 points per game. Overall, they played 22 matches.The best team in coming back is Malaga (Spain), with 3 LW and 2 LD out of 13 L1; in the second halves of these games, they gained 0,85 points per game. Overall, they played 24 matches.The worst team in coming back is Toulouse (France), with 11 LL out of 11 L1. They played 26 matches.Juventus (Italy) is the only team who never trailed at half-time unitl now in this season.All the teams lead at least once at half-time.

Trying to understand when the best teams score the most, I included in this table the top 10 teams by number of goals scored in each time segment in this season, until 6 February (included).And these are the positions in the league rankings of the same teams.
The averages of the positions for each segment are as follows:1-15: 3,816-30: 3,631-45: 5,346-60: 6,861-75: 376-90: 4,2>90: 4,2So the best segment for the top teams is from the 61st to the 75th minute; but also the 76-90 period is better than others, because it has a position average of 4,2 but with the outlier of Caen, who are 18th in the Ligue 1.
